MRI is a modern, effective, and popular imaging method thanks to its high level of accuracy and safety. Nowadays, magnetic resonance is applied in examination of body’s organs to support treatment of cancer, neurology, cardiovascular diseases, and especially musculoskeletal disorders.
In Vietnam, magnetic resonance is increasingly preferred by doctors and patients thanks to the highly accurate non-X-ray non-invasive method, which helps to reduce potential risks and patients’ pains.
“MRI is a vital method in early detection of diseases, especially symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders in order to support positive treatment. We do believe that with those updated knowledge and advanced technology, MRI will support examination and effective detection, thereby improving possibilities of treatment”, said Dr. Poh Feng.
During the seminar, Hitachi Healthcare has introduced the Echelon Smart 1.5 Tesla via the distributor Japan Vietnam Medical Instrument Joint Stock Company. This super conductive MRI scanner offers superior image quality and a patient-friendly examination environment. It is featured with advanced contemporary technologies, namely Smart Comfort - Smart Eco - Smart Engine.
